Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 18 Jun, 05:51–14:34
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:46 on Tue 17 Jun to 14:34 on Wed 18 Jun; harivasara ends at 21:28 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 18 Jun, 05:51. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31.
The rule
